Depends on your bone structure and whether you are long-waisted

Whether or not you can get an "hour glass figure" with the aid of liposuction depends on how much distance there is between your rib cage above and your pelvis below. For some people, there is a signficant distance, and they can get a narrow waist, compared to their chest size. For many people, there is just enough distance between the bottom of the rib cage and the tip of the pelvic girdle to allow movement.

Creating an hourglass figure

The question posed is about creating an hourglass figure. The question asks about making the stomach look bigger, I will assume this is a typo. There are several factors that are involved with the results that can be achieved through liposculpture.

Liposuction of waist and flanks can give an hourglass figure

Your waist and shape are most dependent on your underlying structure of your rib cage and hip bones. If you have a thick waist caused by these structures, liposuction will not help. However, if you have fat beneath the skin of your waist, sides and flank area, then liposuction to remove the fat can help improve the waistline. See before and after photos of Slim Lipo.

Depends on whether you have enough fat

The answer to your question really depends on whether you have fat in areas that are obscuring the definition of your buttocks and waist/flank. If you do have problems in these areas and are unable to improve them through diet and exercise, then liposuction may be the answer for you. The best way for you to determine the ideal treatment for your situation is to meet with an experienced plastic surgeon and review your options. Best of luck.
